Gold!

Hels Sunday Stampers theme this week is Gold, taken from her song theme Golden Slumbers.
Over on the yahoo group Everything Wendy Vecchi, Lori has challenged us from Wendy's first book based on page 28 - to use at least 3 grungepaper flowers and another grungepaper image & perfect pearls. Soooo

I took a canvas and painted it with a gold dabber, spreading it and thinning it with a baby wipe, and adding some Viva gold paste thinned with a wet paintbrush.  Then set to stamping and inking some flowers!

 The inks I used were dusty concord and scattered straw,  and I sprayed the yellow flowers with sunflower sparkle & the butterflies with heirloom gold.
The text is by Tim and I used a piece from the Lost and Found stack which I painted with viva gold too.

I also used 5 of the tulips from Make Mine Mini Art and stuck them together and used some crafty notions rainbow drops for flower centres.

Suddenly noticed I had a close up function on the camera.... so retook some of these!

Hels' challenge is open till Saturday, the EWV one is a 2 weeker till April 12th. Come join the fun!

(edit - OMG look who left a comment!! Thank you.........   am so excited!!)
